Defensive publication

ABSTRACT

CERTAIN ARALKANOLS REPRESENTED BY THE FORMULA (((X)M-PHENYL)-CNH2N-1(-OH)-),(Y)M&#39;&#39;,(Z)M&#34;-NAPHTHALENE WHEREIN:   CNH2N-1 IS A SATURATED HYDROCARBON CHAIN; N REPRESENTS AN INTEGER SELECTED FROM 1 TO 4; X, Y AND Z INDIVIDUALLY REPRESENT CHLORO, BROMO OR NITRO; AND M, M&#39;&#39; AND M&#34; EACH REPRESENT AN INTEGER SELECTED FROM 0 TO 3, PROVIDED THAT THE SUM OF M+M&#39;&#39;+M&#34; EQUALS AT LEAST 2,   ARE PREPARED BY REACTING A NAPHTHALDEHYDE WITH A GRIGNARD REAGENT. THE ARALKANOLS EFFECTIVELY CONTROL THE GROWTH OF GRAM-POSITIVE MICROORGANISMS.

PUBLISHED MARCH 7, 1972 T896,003 BACTERIOSTATIC ARALKANOLS Joseph W.Baker, 421 Greenleaf St. 63122, and Ignatius Schumacher, 1009 S. Elm63119, both of St. Louis, Mo. Filed May 11, 1970, Ser. No. 36,383 Int.Cl. C07c 31/14 US. Cl. 260--618 R No Drawing. 7 Pages SpecificationCertain aralkanols represented by the formula wherein:

C H2 1 is a saturated hydrocarbon chain;

It represents an integer selected from 1 to 4;

X, Y and Z individually represent chloro, bromo or nitro; and

m, m and m" each represent an integer selected from 0 to 3, providedthat the sum of m+m'+m equals at least 2,

are prepared by reacting a naphthaldehyde with a Grignard reagent. Thearalkanols eifectively control the growth of gram-positivemicroorganisms.
